Outstanding article that could have only been written by someone who has been covering the issue of abuse in the Olympic Movement for 20+ years, someone clear-eyed enough to never lets athletes’ incredible fetes cloud the crimes behind curtain. Well done @sreidreporter 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Solving those crimes may be the hardest trick yet.

1/ Do you see how awful the fight that the Spanish football players have to go through, despite the video evidence, despite millions of people supporting them publicly? Now imagine a young teenage girl with less than zero power in grassroot football saying "i don't like this"...

This is across all sport.
As bad as Spain is, this isn’t just a Spanish problem. This isn’t just a US problem (last year’s Sally Yates report). It’s a soccer problem. FIFA must do more. Women soccer players from every nation must be able to report abuse, anonymously or not. Thanks @kaitlancollins.
Courage to stand up and #callhimout @LewesFC . All federations should be following this example
We condemn the sexist behaviour of Rubiales + the Spanish FA and demand change.
We believe that women’s football + women deserve better and as men, we have a responsibility to #CallHimOut. Will you join us?

Football’s nasty truth: it’s badly failing women.

Safeguarding is everyone’s responsibility. There are no excuses for sexual violence, organisations are accountable. Safety cannot be taken for granted. It is more than checking boxes and we support the Spanish women’s football team

"Alone and on its own sport cannot succeed in an effective fight against violence and abuse. There are too many conflicts of interest, dependencies, closed structures and family relationships in the system for that." Maximilian Klein, Athleten Deutschland

"I was sexually abused as a nine-year-old boy. People said I ‘was asking for it’ because I’m gay" - this is wrong on so many levels and my support is fully behind Patrick Sandford. Blame for abuse should always be on the abuser, no ifs, no buts
